Microsoft followed on with that NIST recommendation and suggested discontinuing regular password changes in 2019 [0].
Where I work (MS infra & service) 90 password changes show no sign of going away.
A pretty convincing argument that the folks involved are more into theatre than practice.

- bombcar 5y agoFor a long while you couldn't disable password rotation on Office 365 - you could only set it to some arbitrarily long time (and only via Powershell, if I recall correctly). Luckily that is starting to back off, but it has NOT trickled down everywhere by a long shot.
